Andrew Dyce

Andrew Dyce was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada with a NES controller in one hand and a GameBoy in the other. When Andrew isn’t playing video games or writing about them, he enjoys reading, watching TV and movies, and embracing his Canadian culture by taking in at least 3 hockey games a week. Most nights are spent neck-deep in some NHL 11 action with his brother, when not working towards an Honors Degree in English at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. When your two greatest passions are writing and gaming, there’s no better place than Game Rant.
